Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
Stalwart is a mail and collaboration server. A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in Stalwart Mail Server versions 0.13.0 through 0.15.4 where accessing a specially crafted email containing malformed nested `message/rfc822` MIME parts via IMAP or JMAP causes excessive CPU and memory consumption, potentially leading to an out-of-memory condition and server crash. The malformed structure causes the `mail-parser` crate to produce cyclical references in its parsed representation, which Stalwart then follows indefinitely. Version 0.15.5 contains a patch.
Analysis
Denial-of-service in Stalwart Mail Server versions 0.13.0 through 0.15.4 allows authenticated users to crash the server by sending a specially crafted email with malformed nested MIME parts through IMAP or JMAP, triggering infinite loops and resource exhaustion. The vulnerability requires valid credentials to exploit and public exploit code exists, but no patch is currently available for affected versions.
